The method of Hara using two centre formalism has been employed to investigate positron–hydrogen molecule scattering at low incident energies. Two model potentials have been used to see the importance of the choice of effective potential. It has been found that the total cross sections are sensitive to the details of the effective potential. The present results are in qualitative agreement with measured values and other existing theoretical predictions.

AbstractNon-resonant fusion cross-sections significantly higher than corresponding theoretical predictions are observed in low-energy experiments with deuterated matrix target. Models based on thermal effects, electron screening, or quantum-effect dispersion relations have been proposed to explain these anomalous results: none of them appears to satisfactory reproduce the experiments. Velocity distributions are fundamental for the reaction rates and deviations from the Maxwellian limit could play a central role in explaining the enhancement. We examine two effects: an increase of the tail of the target Deuteron momentum distribution due to the Galitskii-Yakimets quantum uncertainty effect, which broadens the energy-momentum relation; and spatial fluctuations of the Debye-Hückel radius leading to an effective increase of electron screening. Either effect leads to larger reaction rates especially large at energies below a few keV, reducing the discrepancy between observations and theoretical expectations.

Total cross sections for positronium formation in e+-Li scattering have been studied in the framework of the distorted wave approximation in the energy range 1-50 eV by taking consistent account of the effect of the target distortion. The results are compared with existing theoretical predictions.

A systematic study of (p,γ) reactions was carried out using the reaction codes EMPIRΕ, TALYS and NON-SMOKER (web). The calculated (p,γ) cross sections of seed nuclei 89Y, 107,109Ag, 106,108,110Pd, 112Cd, 121,123Sb, 127I, and 133Cs can be used in a three-fold way: (a) perform an intercomparison of the models in a low-energy regime (b) compare existing experimental data to the theoretical predictions and (c) predict cross sections of reactions planned to be studied experimentally in the near future by our group. The results of the study are presented in a concise way focusing on the experimental conditions.
